Program Note
This melodrama stars Arimura Kasumi from We Made a Beautiful Bouquet (2021) and Sakaguchi Kentaro from The Last 10 Years (2022). Saeko (Arimura Kasumi) is struggling with the loss of her boyfriend in a tragic traffic accident and devotes herself to work at a coffee company in Hokkaido. Meanwhile, Naruse (Kentaro Sakaguchi), who received a heart transplant from Saeko’s late boyfriend, finds himself changed after the surgery. His newfound obsession with coffee, which he previously disliked, seems odd to his wife. By chance, Saeko and Naruse end up on the same train, where they strike up a conversation about coffee and develop mutual attraction. While the premise might seem familiar, the film’s charm comes from its rich details and compelling performances by its actors. Director Kurosaki Hiroshi has collaborated Arimura Kasumi through the TV series Hiyokko (2017) and the film Gift of Fire (2020). (NAM Dong-chul)
